Executive Summary
This initiative will facilitate the dissemination of research resources between centers and with the wider PKD research community. Centers will develop, validate and share resources including cell lines, animal models, biospecimens, imaging, and clinical phenotyping. We propose an open competition to fund up to four PKD Research Centers each of which will include biomedical research cores and an administrative core, as well as a single Central Coordinating Site, to form a PKD Research Consortium.
